BWC has formed an alliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Ohio offices and Ohio's craft brewery associations to protect workers in Ohio's rapidly growing craft brewing industry.

The alliance provides information, guidance, and access to training resources to improve the health and safety of brewery workers by preventing exposure to hazards during the brewing, storing, containerizing, handling, and delivery of craft beer.

Ohio's craft brewers also have free access to and can use existing Brewers Association web-based training (regardless of membership), on topics ranging from grain handling, and fermentation cleaning and sanitizing, to filtering and pumping, and powered industrial trucks.

Free workplace safety and health consultations

Finally, BWC's Division of Safety & Hygiene offers no-cost workplace safety and health consulting through the OSHA On-Site Consultation Program and its loss-prevention experts. BWC's workplace safety professionals, industrial hygienists and ergonomists will help craft brewers develop and maintain effective safety-management programs to realize the business value of safety.

For more information, contact one of the compliance assistance specialists from your local Ohio OSHA office, or call BWC at 1-800-282-1425.
